Sorry Petesflh I didnt see the stock 26 prop part.
But still I dont see what I'm missing I wonder when Fountain started going to 1.65 and 28 pitch props and why?
If I knew my boat would run 77 after the Raylar kit I would probably pull the trigger.

My boat only runs 65-66ish best with 20 gallons 2 people then with 4 people it only runs 60ish. Is that the same with you guys? Do you lose that much speed with 2 more people? Have you pulled the turbulators out of the exhaust? Are you running labbed props?
I'm sure some one has a late model 27 that has done the Raylar We'll just have to wait for them to chime in

We picked up a kit from Ray yesterday...We will give an update on the 27fever real soon...it has a 28p w/1.65 gears. we are anticapting going to a 30p. we should have it installed and tested within 2 weeks. Currently the boat will hit 70 with a light load and we do run in saltwater.

i dont think youll see 77 with 550 / 570 hs its going to take more than that , my 27 fountain 598 725 hs 770 tq runs at 84 at 5400 although non stepped hull 1.36 24 pitch with labbing will increase to maybe 57 5800 perfect !

I bet he gets 77 with the right prop. Pretty hard to compare a stepped hull to a non.

A 30 Pitch 
I hate to think about what docking is going to be like. I guess it might just take some getting use to.
I think if the boat hits 67-68 now it will go close to 77 dialed in with the right prop. Please let us know the results. How soon will the install take place?

What is so hard about docking with a 30p prop??the thing already manuvers like chit around the dock. I don't see how it would be any worse.
We are pulling the engine out this weekend

I dock my 29 Fever single engine (575SCi) with a 30P Bravo 1 and sometimes a 32P Bravo 1 prop (1.5 gear ratio) several times, every time we use the boat. Never have/had a problem. Just pop it in/out of gear to control movement and speed. What makes it so hard? Wind gives me more problems than anything else when trying to dock a single engine boat of that length
